Hi sasesk....I just answered this in your other post also.    The D14 is very reliable with no pump, hoses or internal fan control to go wrong.    The H100 is very good and chances are will not cause a problem.    Both cool very well and the H100 on low settings is just as quiet.   But, the D14, or Phantek which is about the same, have a lot less problems, in fact next to none.    Both allow stage 2 Oc with your mobo and Cpu.

I would go with the Noctua, but it really depends on what you want.

The H100 can get somewhat better temperatures, yes, but only with the fans on high, which will be a good bit noisier than the Noctua. Honestly though, the additionally 1-2 degrees you can get out of the H100 is not worth the added noise.

On the flip side, the Noctua is big and ugly. I think anyway.

Really though both will work, so it comes down to what you want to get out of them.

Some people thinks it takes up too much space. Is this a problem?

In terms of what? If it's a problem with components not fitting DS will tell you. It shouldn't have any adverse effects other than the RAM maybe not fitting under it (which is completely avoidable and, again, which DS will tell you about).

Other than that, it shouldn't be an issue.
